I need a nap

After getting out of bed and moving around for a little while yesterday I realized I felt like I had been hit by a truck.  Sunday's run was a lot harder on me then I realized.  Not only that, but I am just tired, like I am out of breathe just walking into the office and want to sit down and rest TIRED.  That makes this evenings run with the fast and young girl from work seem like torture.  I could totally use my knee as an excuse to get out of it but I won't.  I will just be a quarter of a mile behind her. 

Eating was way out of control yesterday.  I didn't eat dinner Sunday night so I woke up starving on Monday.  I stopped at Sonic on my way to work and got a jr. burger (I don't like breakfast food).  I ate about half of it, which is odd because I normally have a lot of problems with hamburgers.  I had a 100 calorie pack of chocolate covered pretzels for a snack and a half a turkey sandwich for lunch.  About 2 I was starving again and looking for anything that wasn't tied down.  I found mint M&M's that I had hid from myself and ate some of those.  When I got home from work I discovered that Dennis had bought some cookies at the grocery store over the weekend.  They aren't cookies I like so it normally isn't a problem but yesterday I ate them anyway.  Dennis was late getting home and I didn't want to cook anything just for me so I made nachos (my weakness) and went to town.  Man they were good. 

My scales are broken and have been for awhile but I got on them anyway and it said 114.4.  I was shocked after all the madness of the day before.  I weighed when I got to work; of course with clothes on and after drinking water and eating a fiber one bar, and I was at 113.5.  Maybe my body just needed calories? 

I really am trying to stay away from low quality calories.  I am detoxing off of root beer and drinking water with lots of lemon instead.  So maybe that had something to do with the downward movement in the scale?  I do know that I wasn't drinking enough water and the kidney stone just reassured me of that.  I used to drink 3 liters of water a day before I left work but I got out of that habit when my band got too tight, making it difficult to just swallow that much water.  I am not measuring it now, just trying to drink as much as I can.

I ordered my smiley face reward yesterday - even though yesterday was far from a smiley face day.  I ordered something called a citrus zinger, this should help with my water consumption.
you put a lemon or lime on the juicer thing and fill it up with water.  One half of the fruit is supposed to last for two fills.  I should get it in the mail tomorrow so I will see how well it works.

My friend that took pictures from Sunday posted more pictures.  I think this is hands down my favorite
